Minority interested in media optics, not answers to questions from BoG Governor – Majority

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has accused the Minority in Parliament of prioritising publicity over accountability, saying their recent actions show they are "only interested in the media optics" rather than obtaining answers from government officials.

According to him, the Minority had insisted that the Governor should only answer questions if journalists were present, an approach he said was inconsistent with how Parliament engages other independent constitutional office holders.

The Majority Leader also referred to disagreements over media access to parliamentary proceedings involving the Governor of the Bank of Ghana.
